"It's you. You are the bitch next to Murong Kai."
Concubine Dong's voice was sharp, annoyed, and helpless. She glared at Ah Man fiercely, her eyes full of anger, but helplessness.
"Do you think you have become a noble just because you have been pampered for a few days? You are nothing more than a cheap girl beside Concubine Jin."
When it comes to quarrels, Ah Man rarely loses the upper hand, not to mention that at this time, Concubine Dong is already a trapped beast.
"you wanna die."
No one had mentioned her identity for many years. Today, a little girl who didn't know her place, actually...
If it were any other time, she would have ordered someone to take action immediately, but now, no one would listen to her orders.
"My Lady, let me remind you that you are also seeking death. With such a big fire, you don't forget to rush out. Are you planning to roast yourself and apologize to the Third Prince?"
"Why should I plead guilty? I..."
"Why are you apologizing? Your Highness may not know that not everyone can get Zuibeichun from the Bei'an Imperial Family. Your Highness, do you need me to tell you who got it from?"
"What do you want to do? You..."
"Of course I want to save the queen, otherwise why would I rush in with such a big fire?"
"I don't need your help."
Concubine Dong was not a fool. The girl in front of her had a special identity and was close to the Third Prince Murong Kai. How could she risk her own life to save her? If she did, she must have something in mind, and it must be a big one.
"Then please pray for your well-being, Madam. I will leave first."
As he spoke, Ah Man had already wrapped the wet quilt around himself and turned to leave.
"You saved me, what do you want me to do?"
Although Concubine Dong spoke tough, she became nervous when she saw Ah Man was ready to leave with full confidence.
She spoke anxiously, obviously not wanting to stay in this place where her life was in danger.
"Confess your crimes to the Emperor in person."
"I am not guilty."
Concubine Dong was still being stubborn. She wanted to live, but she didn't want to live a life worse than death. For the mere crime of murdering Murong Kai, even if the Emperor would forgive her, the Empress Dowager would not.
"Well, he is not guilty. Who had the Third Prince's legs broken and thrown into a mass grave? Who put Zui Beichun in the Third Prince's medicine? Who colluded with Bei'an in private? I wonder what benefits Bei'an's Concubine Li promised you?"
Every word and every sentence hit Concubine Dong's heart like a hammer.
How could she, who thought she was doing something secret, be known clearly by this little girl today
"You're talking nonsense."
"You know very well whether I am talking nonsense or not, Concubine Dong. Since you have a clear conscience, God will naturally not harm an innocent person like you. Just stay in this fire and wish for the best for yourself."
Ah Man turned around to leave, and behind her, there was already a blazing fire.
Only then did Concubine Dong realize that the circle that once seemed safe had shrunk a lot. If she didn't leave, she was afraid that her life would be in danger.
Ah Man was holding a quilt in his hand, so he could naturally protect himself, but he himself had nothing on his body, and if he rushed out like this, he would either die or be injured.
Ah Man's words are still ringing in my ears. God will not harm innocent people. But over the years, I know best how many evil things I have done.
So, she was really scared.
Watching Ah Man's back getting farther and farther away from her, she felt like she had been abandoned in the fire.
"Wait a minute, I promise you, I promise you."
Concubine Dong shouted anxiously, fearing that Ah Man couldn't hear her. In her opinion, Ah Man was now her only hope of life.
Concubine Dong had even thought of a way out. After she rescued herself, she would have this hateful woman captured and say that she intended to murder her.
But Concubine Dong would never have thought that A'man had no intention of murdering her, she just wanted to murder her.
After Ah Man approached Concubine Dong, he raised his hand and stuffed something into Concubine Dong's mouth. The thing melted in her mouth. When Concubine Dong wanted to vomit, the thing had already entered her stomach.
